Monster's number of attacks

I have a question about the number of attacks that monsters from the MM get.

For listings that don't have an attack progression list as +xx/+xx/etc...
Do the monsters get their primary and ALL of their secondary attacks (barring any special text in the monster description) on a full attack action or just some of them?

This particular question come up when fighting a brass dragon wyrm.
how many attacks would it get per round taking the full attack action?
Am i correct on 1 bite, 2 claw, 2 wings, 1 tail slap?

I believe you are correct.

Note that when using natural weapons no creature gets iterative attacks. Dragons excell here because they have so many natural attacks.

Note that on a standard or partial action they can still only use one natural weapon attack. It is only on a full attack that they can use all their natural weapons.

It gets wierd when you mix natural and normal weapons, (see the salamander for an example).
